It has a long, pale bill, rufous wings and tail, and dense white streaks on the upperparts. The gray-brown underparts have sparser pale streaks.
It moves slowly upward over trunks, bracing with its tail, and probes bark, epiphytes, and sometimes dead-leaf clusters for invertebrates and small vertebrates. It may forage with mixed-species flocks or follow army-ant swarms.
